welcome

Hello! I’m Kay, the ‘chaotic’ lass behind the blog.

If you’re looking for Scottish travel inspiration, you’re in the right place.

The Chaotic Scot website is packed with personality, travel tips, and destination inspiration.

I hope that my writing will entertain & inspire you, and that my photos will make you want to be there – or make you hungry!

I’ll show you how to explore Scotland on public transport and how to hop around the Scottish Islands. I’ll also highlight where to find quirky accommodation and amazing local eateries along the way.

Scotland is my homeland and the love of my life. I’ve devoted my career to promoting it full-time and I’m excited to share it with you.

The Scottish islands are my favourite place in the world, and I’ve visited 67 so far. There is so much more to come. Watch this space!
